     1. FreeBSD is no more and no less of a UNIX than GNU/Linux is, and   
        does not offer any additional security over GNU/Linux.   
      
     2. GNU/Linux offers more security and virtualization abilities [*]   
        out of the box than SysV R4 ever did, and than FreeBSD currently   
        does.   
      
      
   [*] a. supports both dom0 and domU on Xen   
       b. User Mode Linux (UML)   
       c. Linux Containers (LXC) (with cgroups and cpusets)   
       d. Linux Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM), with Qemu   
       e. Linux lguest ("lightweight guest"), with Qemu   
       f. even supports running on Microsoft Hyper-V
